An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-12448 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NAVER Corporation Whale Browser. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12448/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12448/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12448","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12448/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12448","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hj27-g349-7jw4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Whale Browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Whale Browser hides the URL for non-http pages, allowing attackers to spoof domain names and mislead users about the site's identity.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"naver","cpe":[{"product":"whale","vendor":"navercorp"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Whale Browser before 1.3.48.4 displays no URL information but only a title of a web page on the browser's address bar when visiting a non-http page, which allows an attacker to display a malicious web page with a fake domain name.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Whale Browser","id":"CVE-2018-12448","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Other in Whale Browser Installer","id":"CVE-2018-12449"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-12447"},"products":["Whale Browser"],"published":"2018-08-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in NAVER Whale browser","id":"CVE-2025-62583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in NAVER Whale browser","id":"CVE-2025-53599","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in NAVER Whale browser","id":"CVE-2022-24074","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-17"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in NAVER Whale browser","id":"CVE-2025-69234","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-30"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9859","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in Whale Browser Installer","id":"CVE-2018-12449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["NAVER Corporation"]},"summary":"Whale Browser hides the URL for non-http pages, allowing attackers to spoof domain names and mislead users about the site's identity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12448/"}
